Overview
TAOS is an unquestionable leader in three technologies: Display Management, Proximity Detection and Color Management. The first one, is applicable in of light-centric, display-based devices, that include both ambient light sensing and proximity detection in a single-chip solution. The Proximity Detection (which senses the presence of an object within a specified distance from the sensor) is used in broad range of products, including computers, mobile phones and consumer electronics, where the display power consumption management is the main concern. The Color Management technology is implemented in TAOS sensors, which enable solutions for color discrimination, determination, and measurement. It is used in a wide variety of applications, such color feedback control in solid-state illumination and RGB backlight systems, color adjustment in printers, industrial process quality controls, portable medical diagnostic systems, as well as paper and product handling equipment. TAOS products are world-wide known for their ultimate efficiency and cost effectiveness. Designing such products, requires selecting providers whose solutions meet the highest standards – DCD is honored to be one of those suppliers. Using our fast and trustworthy DP8051 IP core with our proprietary DoCDTM is a perfect groundwork, to bring to life even the most demanding projects. We also know, that even best solutions need support, therefore our technical team is always there, to help and make the implementation as easy as possible.
“DCD has done great job giving us support. Always a quick response with the information we needed to move forward.”
